Status Updates From Gotcha!

Katie's dad's money problems have been hinted at. But, I'm kind up astounded that a grade 12 student wouldn't have put two and two together. She's given some money to her dad for an "investment", and I'm sitting there thinking "girl, how clueless are you? Are you the leader of the clueless tribe?"

Katie and Joel have started hanging out. Katie has had a falling out with her friend Paige, and I felt the foreshadowing for what was going to happen at the Gotcha party. Joel greatly surprised me with sticking with Katie during the whole ordeal. There seems to be some foreshadowing regarding Warren. I'm not sure if Katie has his name, or the other way around.

Pretty easy read for middle grade. But, have a gist that the content of the book is meant more for grade 8-12.

There is some foreshadowing regarding Katie's relationships with her mother, father and best friend.

I feel like her English Lit teacher, Mr. Bell, is quite the good mentor from the way he reacted at the end of chapter 2.
